The day after the horrible flight experience on a Jet Airways plane, one of the wounded left the hospital continued to cough and suffer from earaches and headaches on Friday. The devastating passenger journey aboard the Mumbai-Jaipur flight caused an emergency landing at the Mumbai airport after the pressure drop in the cabin resulted in bleeding ears and nose.

According to an Indian Express report, a passenger, Ankur Kala, suffers from severe head and ear pain and his family is now considering performing CT and brain MRI tests. According to Ankur's brother, Vikram, the low cabin pressure affected Ankur a lot as he was traveling from Hong Kong and was in transit for more than 24 hours without sleeping.

Jet Airways flight 9W697 carried 166 passengers and five crew members. Thirty people on board were confronted with health problems. Of these, five were admitted to Dr. Balabhai Nanavati hospital in Mumbai and were returned later. Other passengers have undergone treatment at the airport hospital.

Ankur claimed that within 20 minutes, oxygen masks came down from the upper compartment and that the pressure decreased. He was one of five people who were transported to Nanavati Hospital.

The loss of pressure was due to a manual problem after the cabin crew "forgot" to put the bleed switch to normalize the pressure. "During the climb, the crew forgot to select a switch because of which the pressurization of the cabin could not be maintained … As a result, oxygen masks were deployed", said an official of the Directorate General of Indian Civil Aviation. Express.

An AAIB official told the PTI news agency that, according to the information available so far, the incident could be a case of negligence of the pilots because the control of the Cabin pressure is part of the check before the operation.
